A mystery item...SOLVED


I received this in a trade some time back. It is brass and factory painted and came in a gloss red box. It is lighted and sturdy as a rock. The windows are printed acetate. Needless to say it is one of my favorite ready-built structures.

Thanks to Rob over at HO Seeker, I now know that this is an Aristo-Craft model from the 1950s. I will be diligently digging through what magazines I have from back then to see if I can find an ad for my folder.

Thank you for the help. Is that Aristo-Craft or Astro-Craft? Just wanted to make sure for my update.
